A website is an important part of your online marketing strategy—it’s how you establish your place online and it’s where potential readers can learn more about your book. But with millions of sites on the Internet today, it’s easy for your own website to get lost among millions of others.

As of 2017, there are more than 1 billion websites.

So how do you make your book website stand out and drive online traffic to it? The trick here is to focus your efforts on the right readers—the ones who are most likely to be interested in reading your book.

KNOWING YOUR READERS

First things first: you have to determine who those readers are. Just as there are different authors with various stories to tell, there are also different readers with various reading preferences. So the key is to identify and target those prospective readers whose interests resonate with your book’s topic, genre, or subject matter.

Does your book contain elements of romance? Reach out to readers who prefer love stories.

Did you publish a cookbook?
Target readers who are into food, recipes, and cooking.

Is your book about sports?
Promote it to sports enthusiasts.

TARGETING YOUR READERS

Once you’ve established who your readers are, you can focus on reaching out to them with targeted ads. Targeted ads allow for a more focused, more efficient, and smarter marketing campaign.

Plus, studies have shown that the targeted approach works:

43% of UK consumers prefer brands that approach them with relevant offers.

29% of UK consumers are more likely to make a purchase from brands that send them tailored messages.

With targeted marketing, readers won’t have to comb through countless websites that may not be of interest to them. Instead, you bring their preferences to them. In the long run, this may make it easier for interested readers to come across your website and learn more about your book.

Through a simple click of the “Stumble” button, your potential readers can scan through hundreds of pages that match their interests and eventually “stumble upon” your website. You can target readers by age, gender, location, device, and specific interest categories.
